I love Booksweet in Ann Arbor, and Hidden Timber Books had a fun panel event there last summer. Hoping there is someone who would love to carry on their mission and work with the community.

We're excited to be one of the Indie publishers featured in this Publishers Weekly article! Check us out, along with several other Indies from across the US. You just might find one that's looking for the exact book you're written!

Written by: Gloria DiFulvio If you haven’t seen “Boys in the Boat” yet, I recommend stopping everything else you are doing and watch it now. Kudos to George Clooney for directing a movie that focuses on the sport of rowing. Our community rowing club held an event at our local theater bringing ...
